Court Maid led for a long way in Listed company last time but was soon beaten when headed and has another half-mile to travel. Dorrells Pierji won a Belharbour point-to-point last February so impressively that a big future was predicted but after a reasonable effort at Tramore last month he was beaten a long way at Punchestown. DINONS started off with a cracking effort in a lucrative bumper on the latter track last April but hasn't quite managed to make the expected progress. However, he showed when a close second at Kilbeggan last month that's there's a race waiting for him and this should be his day. It's difficult to see anything else getting into it though Willing would have to be considered if getting a run from his reserve spot as he caught the eye at Punchestown last month.
